This cross-sectional cohort study aimed to determine parenting stress and psychosocial health in mothers with a pregnancy complicated by TTTS that had been managed with laser ablation of communicating placental vessels. Questionnaires were sent to the mothers for completion: Parenting Stress Index (PSI), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and a semi-structured questionnaire related to mental health problems and support received from health professionals. Thirty-seven mothers were sent questionnaires with 32 being returned. The results showed that 47% of women had total scores equal to or greater than the 85th percentile on the PSI, which is considered abnormally high. Twenty-six per cent of mothers had evidence of depression on the EPDS. Mothers of children with prolonged medical conditions or neurological problems had significantly higher scores (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>=.011). Parenting stress was not associated with high scores on the EPDS. Medical and midwifery staff were considered to provide high levels of support, with social work providing none or low levels of support. In conclusion, women whose TTTS pregnancy was managed by laser surgery have high levels of parenting stress. As the results showed that parenting stress cannot be predicted at the time of hospitalization, it is suggested that more support should be provided in hospital with further follow-up after discharge.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1375\/twin.10.2.416","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,26]],"date-time":"2007-04-26T17:37:34Z","timestamp":1177609054000},"page":"416-421","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Parenting Stress and Psychosocial Health in Mothers with Twin\u2013Twin Transfusion Syndrome Managed with Laser Surgery: A Preliminary Study"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Dawn M.","family":"Edwards","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter H.","family":"Gray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Barbara","family":"Soong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fung-Yee","family":"Chan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Cincotta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"p_1_768","unstructured":"Abidin, R.
